Jigsaw Slide Master

About This Game

Jigsaw Slide Master rebuilds the charm of the classic fifteen-puzzle in a compact 3x3 form. The picture is scrambled across eight tiles and one gap; slide tiles into the gap until the image is whole again.

Every shuffle is verified to be solvable, so a solution always exists. The image is a colorful gradient mosaic generated fresh each game - plus a number mode if you prefer the pure logic version.

How to Play

1. Click a tile next to the empty gap to slide it into place.
2. Rebuild the picture: the top-left tile goes first, work row by row.
3. Toggle Picture/Number mode with the button under the board.
4. Finish in as few moves as possible - your move count is your score.

Tips & Strategy

• Solve the top row first, then the left column - it reduces the puzzle to 2x2.
• Never break a finished row to fix a lower one; there is always another path.
• Trace where a tile must travel and plan a corridor for it, one move at a time.
• If stuck, undo mentally: name the last two moves that felt wrong.
